Car Care Products - THE BEST

**Mass** · 10-12-2009, 11:02 PM

I've just detailed my Jetta and my water tank is being installed next week

I would like your recommendations as to what are the best products to buy. Its been a while since I bought any and the last purchase was Zymol. Now I'll need everything including sponges,cloths etc etc. I would even like to hear your thoughts on a polisher as I would like to try and detail my self from now on.

Oh and also where is the best place to purchase what I need?

cheers

Nice, no clay? Suppose that lot did add up.

Hey Dan, is the Supernatural wax a hard or soft wax? Application by hand similar to Dodo Purple Haze or slightly harder to work with?

i have used autoglym, and now duragloss.

duragloss smells more like leather and doesn't leave the surface super shiny.
i can't even tell which conditioners are 'good'. as long as we are doing somehing, i hope the leather thanks us.

i have used meguiars clay.

and only in the last 4 cars i reverted to dodo juice. also with dodo lube. can't go wrong. soft and mallaeble. pulls everything off fine.

any recommendations on a product for the exterior trims (black plastic).

I use CRC So Easy. It's a vinyl/plastic cleaner/protectant. Works very well.

I have nothing but good things to say about CCP/DMS Dan and would recommend them to anyone. Great people to deal with and very helpful.

Ditto, and not just because they're on our forum haha. They taught me what I know

I personally use 303 or ...kiwi shoe polish on black exterior plastic/trim. It depends what sort of finish you're after, and whether you're bothered about applying product regularly or not. 303 leaves a nice, consistent low-sheen result which is quite desireable to some, however if you're after a more shiny result then maybe forever black or black wow would be better for you.
